Hello everybody,
I bought some time ago an OPI PC with official case, my wonder is how do I keep the board hold in it? Inside the package there weren't any screws, and even if there were, I noticed there isn't any internal screw threads for inserting them.
How did you guys worked around it?

There was four tiny screw in my package.
The case didn't have any screw threads, but the screws cut them themselves.

Well I got this on ebay.com thinking it was an Orange pi 2, but alas what actually came in the mail was an Orange pi 1; 3 usb (one on it's Side), otg port, HDMI,Audio out,4.5mm barrel power connector jack,10/100 Ethernet , and IR remote, and power switch that doesn't work yet.. only paid $28.48 US...then found out I could have bought it for like $18.50 here in US...

Then thinking id have an orange pi 2 ,bought this on ebay.com for C 0.99 cents, .68 cents  US...

Anyways after spending 10mins modding the orange pi 2 case it fits nicely, snaps into place in the pi 2 bottom part, So you'll have to be careful cutting out the audio jack port, and otg port, and 4.5mm barrel power jack port,hdmi port  is a little off as well... o and the usb/networking end of the case I just squared everything off down there, I figure more air flow the betterl,also youll have to widen the microsd slot a little, and if you want cut out a notch for the power button that doesn't work..I used a box cutter for the heavy cutting and a number 11 xacto knife.. for the little things..But all in all got a really good case for my Orange pi.. from an orange pi 2 case for .68 cents in the US.. here's the pic's of it, still haven't figured out witch way I'm  going to mount the heat sinks for the ram yet..
P.S. I like android with kodi.. for an O.S. Just have to figure out how to get it to work on my 4:3 lcd hdmi 1280x1024@60htz.. monitor, O yeah and how to shut it down properly from inside android O.S. hahhahahahahhahaah....
